In the researchers' words
A total of 26 patients who were diagnosed with CP \[diplegic, with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level of 2-5\] and who regularly participated in a rehabilitation programme were included in the study after obtaining approval from their parents. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 (n = 13) received conventional therapy (65 min, 2 days/week ×8) and group 2 (n = 13) received 25 minutes of robot-assisted gait training (RoboGait®) in addition to conventional therapy (40 min, 2 days/week ×8).
